The Blue Jays have won a game at the Trop against the Rays. Today, they will try to do it again with their ace on the mound. Ryu ready?!
The injury updates for today are there are no injury updates for today. However, per Charlie Motoyo, Trent Thornton will be starting tomorrow.
It’s been so delightful to see the Jays being tweeted about so often now outside of the beat writer bubble:
The @BlueJays would meet Oakland in the first round if the postseason began today. Jordan Romano (@Gordondemand) is one of the biggest reasons why. The Markham, Ont., native has a 0.769 WHIP in 13 games and just earned his first @MLB save. @baseballcanada @MLBNetwork
